I don't think any musician had more fun at this festival than Morello. He was its main organizer, and took full advantage of that role. He was all over the place, guesting in the sets by others and having lots of guests in this, his set. For instance, he played guitar for the entire Suns of Soundgarden set I posted already, and he'll show up some more in later sets.
Morello has had a very interesting and unusual music career. He's probably best known as the lead guitarist for Rage Against the Machine. But he's also been part of the successful groups Audioslave and Prophets of Rage, and has had a solo career in a very different folk rock style. He's also done a lot of collaboration with Bruce Springsteen, including occasionally being a member of his touring band in recent years.
On top of all that, he's a very educated guy, having graduated from Harvard University with a degree in political science, and has become a knowledgeable socialist political activist. His political stances have strongly come through most of his music projects. He's been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for his role in Rage Against the Machine, and Rolling Stone magazine has listed him at the 18th best guitarist of all time.
Here's his Wikipedia entry, if you want to know more:

This set was actually billed to "Tom Morello and Friends," because there were special guests on a majority of songs, including some where the guests were the main lead singers. Here's some information about the guests.
- Grandson performed a set earlier in the festival, which you can find in Part 1.
- Serj Tankian is the lead singer for the band System of a Down.
- B-Real is one of the two lead rappers in the band Cypress Hill, which also performer earlier, also in Part 1.
- DMC is Darryl McDaniels, one of the two lead rappers in Run-DMC.
- Chuck D and Flavor Flav are members of the rap group Public Enemy. Their set will appear later in this festival. Also, Morello, B-Real, and Chuck D were all members of the rock rap supergroup Prophets of Rage.
- Scott Ian is the leader of the thrash metal band Anthrax.
- Sen Dog is also a member of Cypress Hill, as well as lead vocalist for the nu metal band Powerflo.
- Jack Black is a famous actor as well as member of the rock band Tenacious D. He sang for the Black Sabbath tribute band Jack Sabbath in Part 2 of this festival.
- Dave Grohl is lead vocalist for the Foo Fighters. Their set will appear later in this festival.
The songs here are a mix of songs Morello did for Rage Against the Machine, Audioslave, and his solo career. Plus, there are occasional covers, such "Walk This Way" by Aerosmith, "Fight the Power" by Public Enemy, and "Rock and Roll All Nite" by Kiss.
By the way, for track 7, I couldn't list all the songs in the medley or the song wouldn't play on my computer, due to the folder name plus file name being too long. Here's the full name of that one: "Bombtrack - Know Your Enemy - Bulls on Parade - Guerilla Radio - Sleep Now in the Fire - Bullet in the Head - Cochise."

Obrigado!
ReplyDeleteThanks. Is there a track 10?
ReplyDeleteOops. I don't know what happened there, but I just redid it.
DeleteJust a heads up, there's a musical Dolly Parton tribute tonight on ABC, Disney+, and on Hulu tomorrow. It has Zac Brown Band, Darius Rucker, Lady A, and others. Mostly country artists, so not sure if you like that or not. Btw, so cool about the Power to the People one...what a great show!
ReplyDeleteThanks for that tip. If I can get a copy of the audio, I would want to post that. I'm not super big on country music, but I think I would like this one. Here's some more info about the artists on it:
Delete• Carrie Underwood, Reba McEntire, Brad Paisley, Lainey Wilson, Kelsea Ballerini, Vince Gill, Little Big Town, Darius Rucker, Ashley McBryde, Carly Pearce, Lady A, Zac Brown, Ricky Skaggs, Béla Fleck, Ella Langley, Lukas Nelson, Molly Tuttle, and Sierra Hull.
• Special Guests: Amy Grant and Kimberly Williams-Paisley, alongside appearances by Kristen Bell and Kristin Chenoweth.
And by the way, thanks for your other tips. I want to get to the Crossroads one soon as well. I keep waiting for someone else to do something to it though.
DeleteI so loved the Tedeschi Trucks set with Clapton and Mayer on night 1. Still haven't seen night 2 yet. I think they played both nights. You can never go wrong with Clapton sets either. I saw an hour and a half set from Clapton on night 2 by itself on You Tube the other day. Haven't seen it yet but always love when he plays.
ReplyDeleteSounds like some good others on the Dolly show. Not big on country either but Lukas Nelson is great, Darius Rucker, and some others there on the list .
